Linn Ikemi CD Player With Mekto CD Mechanism - Includes Remote And Working Perfectly

**Please click here to check out our newly launched SkyFi Audio website with additional items for sale** 

Linn called this a "High Performance CD Player" and we tend to agree based on the specs for an almost vintage/modern player.

It features a 24-Bit Delta-Sigma DAC, Linn '2-D' DSP for the lowest possible jitter, balanced analog XLR and digital AES/EBU outputs, plus HDCD capability.

KEY FEATURES INCLUDE
• High performance CD player
• Linn ‘2-D’ digital signal processing for lowest possible jitter
• 24-bit Delta-Sigma Digital-Analogue Conversion
• HDCD capability
• Precision-machined drawer and advanced disc transport
• Linn proprietary Brilliant silent power supply technology
• Linn proprietary Remote-In / Remote-Out functionality allowing connection to Linn Knekt Multi-Room System
• Optional RS232 communications module allowing software upgrades and connection to home entertainment and automation systems
• Balanced analogue audio outputs to allow high quality signals to be distributed over long distances

Benefiting from experience acquired in designing the revolutionary Linn Sondek CD12, the all new Ikemi, high performance component CD player uses unique new Linn low-jitter ‘2-D’ conversion technology. Outstanding performance from both balanced and single-ended outputs also help to make the Ikemi a most versatile CD player.

The slim machined-from-solid aluminium drawer is the only external visible sign of a completely new and beautifully engineered CD mechanism called the Mekto. The ingenious Mekto CD transport design centres on a rigid circuit board which locates all the servos, decoding and control circuits, software, motors, pulleys, belts and optical sensors needed to support the disc loading, decoding and playback process.

The digital audio signals from the Mekto ‘CD engine’ are fed directly to the ‘audio module’ containing the ‘2-D’ digital signal processing algorithms, D/A converters, master clock, filters, output circuits and power supply regulators. High density surface mount circuitry keeps the signal paths both short and direct, ensuring an electrically quiet product with a high immunity to external electrical disturbance.

Standard and proprietary interfaces allow the Ikemi to be connected to a wide range of equipment. SPDIF, AES/EBU and TOSLINK outputs allow connection to home entertainment systems, whilst Linn Remote-In / Remote-Out connections can link the Ikemi to the Linn Knekt system. With 2 types of analogue audio outputs this makes the Ikemi a most advanced specialised CD Player ‘Clyde Built’ to please enthusiastic music lovers.

WHO WE ARE:

SkyFi Audio is a small startup business specializing in the purchase, reconditioning, and reselling of select high-end audio equipment. We only buy equipment the we admire and are passionate about. No mid-fi, no gimmicks, no junk.

Each piece of equipment is cosmetically restored and fully tested in our well-equipped lab by an engineer with 30+ years of experience in the HiFi world. If it does not meet or exceed the original manufactures specifications, it will not be sold. We are very selective about the equipment we purchase, focusing on mostly analog, high-build quality, American, and European built units.

Through our sister company which is an authorized dealer for McIntosh, Audio Research, Sonus Faber, ClearAudio, Pro-Ject Audio Systems, and Sony ES, we have access to OEM parts, service, and support. If you’re local and looking for new equipment from the above-mentioned manufacturers, please drop us a line as we can arrange both sales and professional installation in the tri-state area.

PURCHASING GUIDELINES:

We do not accept or review any offers that do not go through the official Audiogon system. We have too many items for sale and it’s nearly impossible to keep track of offers outside of the official system. Please don’t message, email, or text any offers. 

PAYMENTS:

We prefer working through PayPal which allows you to use a credit card, bank transfer, and their special financing to spread out payments over six months. We do not charge extra for any PayPal fees if you purchase the item at the asking price. You can also send us a personal check (which will need to clear before shipping), certified check, money order, or bank wire transfer. International clients without access to PayPal should use a bank wire transfer. 

If you’re picking up an item, we do not accept PayPal. You must pay in person with a certified check, bank check, or wire transfer. If you make a PayPal payment and are picking up the item, your PayPal payment will be returned. 

TRADE IN POLICY:

We accept trade-ins of equal or lesser value under certain conditions. Simply click here to submit your gear for full consideration. We will only consider high-end equipment from mainstream manufacturers such as McIntosh, Mark Levinson, Audio Research, Krell, etc. and will typically pass on displays, projectors, receivers, dated surround processors, and mid-fi equipment of any type. We will offer a fair value for your equipment, but keep in mind we’re running a business and will need to be able to resell the equipment at a profit after investing a great deal of time and resources in testing, certifying, repairing, cleaning, and packaging the incoming equipment. If you’re looking for top dollar, we suggest selling direct on your own.

SELL US YOUR GEAR (Working or Broken):

We’ll also purchase your used or broken gear and arrange pickup if you’re in our local market. Simply click here to submit your gear for full consideration.

SCHEDULING AN APPOINTMENT:                                                                                

We are currently operating from our shop inside our dedicated building in Glen Rock, NJ. You’re welcome to make an appointment if there’s a piece of equipment you’d like to see in operation before or after purchase. We have several well-equipped and dedicated listening areas, plus a dedicated listening studio with tons of equipment of all makes and models. We’re not a store, so please don’t make an appointment if you’re just curious as to how a speaker or piece of equipment sounds. In essence - no tire kickers please.

You can call or text 201-879-0000 with any questions or to schedule an appointment. We can also arrange to install, calibrate, and tune your newly purchased gear in your listening room if you’re local to our area. This is super useful when purchasing large speakers or heavy amplifiers. It’s also great for ensuring your new turntable is setup correctly in its final resting place.
